    I don't think protegé means what the guy thinks it means.

    KPJ is Silas' protegé.

    Alpi is a prodigy.

    Protégé is coming from to prot. Means a young person who helped, protected and taught by an older person. Kpj is silas' ,sengun is jokić's protégés.

    Lots of answers.

    -JGreen was generally ignored
    -Mobley was valued higher than my anticipation
    -Wagner,Sengun,Giddey are there as expected
    -Barnes also not very popular.
    -Some people consider Cade as "generational talent"!!!!!!!!

    Cade,Mobley,Wagner,Giddey and Sengun makes top 5 list. Lots of people believe Wagner,Giddey and Sengun will have the best careers.

    I posted here 2 weeks ago my top 5 picks as Wagner,JGreen,Sengun,Giddey and Cade. Folks opted Mobley instead of JGreen. It seems that I am biased as a Rockets fan but hope JGreen regains his form and replace Mobley in top 5.

    That cannot be overstated. This results in better defense and overall more balanced basketball. But kpj is part of the problem too. It is not a coincidence that we move the ball better and get more efficient scoring.

    Expectation was 18/12/6 for this season and 22/14/8 for the next. There is no surprise. He will have 10 to 20 triple double next season. Tari joined KJM to cut. If Jabari and back-ups 3&4 do cutting also, there will be lots of assists next year.

    Jalen: Scoring
    Sengun: Assisting
    Jabari: Rebounding
    Tari: Hustling&stealing

    Add them Wemby,Scoot or Black, championship contender.

    good decisions all-around. The best thing was the first pass by Sengun to Green: he put the ball ahead of him letting Jalen use his speed to get to it. Exquisite pass.
    The rest of the play developed because the guy guarding Matthews didn’t trust the 2xDPOY (and a major scrub) to contain Jalen alone, that was the breakdown. Rox swing it nicely around back to Green.

    The Gobert trade is such a disaster…
